In reply to the discussion: Adam Kinzinger Lashes Out After Democrats Redraw His House District, Likely Ending His Congressional [View all]Marthe48
(16,957 posts)71. That's my ideal
Ohio's Supreme Court ruled in 2015 that the districts were unconstituional and must be redrawn. r controlled state houses redrew the map in 2019 and right now guarantees permannant super majorites in both state houses. ALCU, League of Women Voters and individuals filed a lawsuit in Sept. 2021 to fight this nakedly unfair map. It is ridiculous that they impede what isn't good for them and that cheating is the only way they stay in power.

The RW crazies have been trying to get rid of him for years. He's pretty popular in his district.
